Hackers Mod Nerf Gun Into Crazy Weapon of Cushiony Destruction

The joy of Nerf-play never fades. But the older you get, the sillier you look shooting toy guns. Modify a Nerf gun to shoot as fast as a machine gun, and you’ve got a different story.

That’s what a pair of hackers — Eli and Aaron at ManaPotions — sought out to do. They modified a Nerf chaingun to spit out 500 rounds per minute by increasing its voltage. And on top of that, they added a round counter and gave the gun a paint job.

That’s some serious horsing around. The hack cost them about $80; they provide an entire how-to on their site. Check out the video below the jump.
